Hello, I have a quick question. I am currently on TDRL. I am 100% through the VA and 80% through DoD. I have a disability that puts me at 30%, so I’ll eventually be PDRL anyway, but due to my mental health, they placed me on TDRL. I’m in the final stages and awaiting my re eval coming in the...

Hi! You’ll get the VA rating since it’s higher, but will be re-evaluated in about a year after retiring. VA ratings are for life from what my PEBLO explained to me. I decided not to fight for PDRL since I already have another permanent and stable condition over 30% that will eventually place me...

I’ve not gotten my final letter yet — apparently there’s some secondary exam I had to have done for one of my conditions that’s been dragging their feet on closing the claim. I still can’t see my final rating in ebenefits and I’ve already finaled out, so it’s making me nervous since my...

Thank god. I want the hell out already. The PEBLO just made it super confusing. I’ve never sold any leave, always took it so I’m safe there!

Hey, everyone! I received my projected retirement date of 5 July today. But I’m confused. I want to be out before then. I have 38 days of leave for terminal. I don’t want to take the 20 days of permissive TDY. My PEBLO said to count back from my retirement date, factor in my terminal leave...

I signed my 1180 on 31 March. How long did it take you to get your orders in PRDA after signing your 1180?

Thanks! This helps, I have 38 days of leave and 13 days of PTDY, so 51 days total. I really hope they don’t make me do any of that crap, I’m an E-6, and I’ve already been on telework duty since January, so probably not. I’m hoping to hear back about my retirement message really soon. I’m just...

I’m being medically retired. And that’s what I’m wondering, how long did it take for you to get your retirement message so that you could begin your terminal leave, permissive TDY, etc. I signed for my ratings, but haven’t heard back from my PEBLO yet. I signed for my ratings on 31 March. My...

Hey, everyone, was just wondering how long it took for your PEBLO to reach back out to you after signing saying you accept your ratings and when you started terminal leave. I was told it shouldn’t take too long, but I’m still trying to prepare for my future. What’s your timelines look like? Thanks!

UPDATES! 25 Mar - received ratings - 80% DoD, 100% VA. Signed 618 with PEBLO 31 Mar - accepted ratings, signed form 1180. Awaiting case manager contact via PEBLO for orders and retirement date. So ready to start terminal leave and get out already! Life has been just kind of hanging in limbo and...

This is exactly my thinking! I see it as that I wouldn’t have PTSD if it weren’t for them, so why don’t they just take accountability for the fact that they ruined me mentally and let me live in peace once I retire? My VA rating is still 100%, and it was more than the DoD, so I have to take that...

If I have proof in my records that my condition has remained the same for several years, could I fight that it has been stabilized, or would that be a moot point and just deal with unnecessary evaluations?

My question is though, whether or not my MH changes, I still have a condition rated at 30%. Shouldn’t that have made me PDRL in and of itself?

Thank you, that’s exactly what I was thinking. They wouldn’t call it retirement if you’re still active… people are funny. Maybe you can help me figure this out, then. I have one condition that isn’t stable, but one that is and that is already 30%, making me eligible for permanent retirement. My...

I’ve heard conflicting reports on this and am looking for the true answer. My PEBLO said no since we still have retiree IDs and do a DD-214 and out process, saying we’re out. So on TDRL, are we still technically in?
